Badgers have eaten my slow worms!

This is more of a grumble than a discussion. I'm just feeling really sad and cross because there were quite a number of slow worms - adults and young - in my compost heap, under the layer of carpet, also a grass snake at times. This morning I found the carpet pulled back, the compost disturbed and dug into, and only one slow worm visible.
It's got to have been a badger. Sure enough, I found two places in my side fence where they'd pushed their way into my garden from next door. I've blocked these up as best I can, and put down some smelly stuff they're said to dislike, but I am fed up with the damage the badgers do.

I know it's just nature, but I wish there was something that ate badgers!
Noticed the badgers desperation around here, after this long dry spell, pulled to pieces a log pile looking for food last night.
